Introducing the mesmerizing Shilpa Water Lily, a captivating addition to any water garden. While its precise botanical origin may be unknown (further research is needed to determine the exact species within Nymphaea), its stunning features speak for themselves. The image reveals a breathtaking bloom with delicate, lavender-hued petals that unfurl to reveal a vibrant, coral-orange stamen at its heart. Water droplets cling to the petals, enhancing their ethereal beauty and suggesting the refreshing coolness the plant brings to its surroundings.

Cultivating Your Shilpa in India:

The Shilpa Water Lily, like its cousins, thrives in warm, sunny conditions ideal for much of India. Aim for at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming. Plant it in a pond or container with rich, muddy soil, ensuring the rhizome (root structure) is submerged but the leaves and flowers are exposed to the sun. Indian climates generally provide sufficient warmth, but it is crucial to protect the Shilpa from prolonged periods of intense heat which could desiccate the plant. Partial shade during the hottest parts of the day may be beneficial.

Special Care for Exquisite Blooms:

• Container: Use pots or containers with a minimum 30 to 36 inches in diameter and 18 inches in depth. Fiber, plastic, or concrete containers are suitable, as they retain heat.

To maintain the Shilpa's vibrant beauty, regular fertilization is key. Use a slow-release aquatic plant fertilizer specifically formulated for water lilies. Monitor the water levels in your pond or container, ensuring adequate depth for the roots and preventing evaporation-induced stress. Water lilies prefer still or slow-moving water. Regularly remove any decaying leaves or debris to avoid the buildup of harmful bacteria and maintain water clarity. The Shilpa, like many water lilies, may benefit from occasional pest and disease monitoring. Act early if you identify any problems.

Unique Selling Points:
